2 Final Exam – Wednesday December 11 15h30 (3:30pm to 6:30pm)Index

• Your Final Exam schedule is posted in the ICT office. The Final Exam is closed-book, no aids, no devices.

• Your Final Exam covers the entire course, with slight emphasis on material since the second midterm test, and on material that students did not answer well in the previous two tests.

• Your Final Exam includes questions from all practice tests, not just the most recent ones.

• For full marks, you must read and understand the Test Instructions before the test for important directions on how to enter your answers and the test version number on the mark-sense forms.

• There may be more questions on the test than you can answer in the time allowed; answer the ones you know, first.

• Practice tests are available for the Final Exam.
  • Read the Practice Test README Information.
  • See the Practice Tests and answer files.
  • The same questions are posted as Quizzes on Blackboard. The Quizzes are random samples from the above practice questions, and so they often repeat questions.
  • If you only want to do each practice question once, use the practice test PDF files, not the Quizzes that repeat questions at random (and may not show you all the possible questions).

• Reminder that Assignments 12, 13, and 14 each contain at the start short descriptions of the command names you need to complete the assignment. This is in addition to having the names mentioned in the List of Commands You Should Know.

• Reminder on searching the course notes: Recall that in a previous Assignment you were shown how to use fgrep on the CLS to search for a string in all the course notes? Please do it.

  $ fgrep 'whois' newnotes/*.txt | wc
  15 105 1009
  
  $ fgrep -l 'whois' newnotes/*.txt
  newnotes/900_unix_command_list.txt
  newnotes/assignment11.txt
  newnotes/week02notes.txt
  newnotes/week05notes.txt
